Super Science!

St. Michael's is full of budding scientists waiting to share their knowledge & understanding with you!

Children are naturally curious and passionate about their learning.

Here at St Michael's Catholic Primary School, we aim to provide a stimulating science curriculum that nurtures this curiosity and allows pupils to ask questions and develop the skills they need to answer those questions.
